We went home to celebrate thanksgiving with our families last week. It was a 6 hour flight coming back and my husband and I were split up. So we were essentially each traveling alone with one LO. I had a bulkhead seat with our younger one who's still a lap child at 16 months. I was in the window seat so it was very hard for me to access my bags while holding her in my arms. I took the minimum items I needed and entertained her with just a few small toys. Luckily, that kept her busy the entire flight. She played on the floor of the plane for most of it - it was pretty gross watching her touch and roll around everywhere. But she kept quiet for 6 hours and even fell asleep for an hour. I was very thankful.
